 +====== Trim the Sails ======
 +
 +Chris Suckett and Brooke Friendly 2005\\
 +Triple Minor Longways\\
 +Tune: Trim the Sails
 +<​code>​
 +Al 1-2 Partners pass R shoulder and loop left to face around circle CCW
 +   3-4 All no-hands circle halfway round to end facing partner
 +A2 1-2 Partners pass L-shoulder and loop right to face around circle CW
 +   3-4 All no-hands circle halfway round to end home facing partner

 +Teaching points:\\
 +The partner passes in the A part are curvy.\\
 +In the A part, the 2s are the anchor for the figure. They end home at the end of each A and can
 +help the other dancers (who end Al proper and at other end of line) go the correct distance
 +around the circle\\
 +The pessimist complains about the wind, an optimist hopes it will change, and a pragmatist
 +trims the sails. //William Arthur Ward//
